/usr/bin is the "standard" place for gnu grep on linux, so i'd like to change the default to work with that.

crawford, do you think $cfg{RCS}{grep}{BinDir} is an appropriate name for this setting?

Not really, no. Use flat full path names, to avoid complicating configure. We should avoid adding "temporaryies" to TWiki.cfg until someone works out how to handle them in the configure interface. CC
on TWiki:Codev.TWikiIRC, this is what crawford and sven advocated instead: simply typing in the default path for egrep and fgrep into the command line directly. i don't actually like this, as it's a form of code duplication (egrep and frep are extremely likely to be in the same place), but it's not a big enough deal to argue over. plus, as crawford says, when (shared) temporaries are dealt with, this will go away anyway...
